This is grossly unfair

At least nobody’s organ was actually harvested

And he wrote to British Embassy and duly informed them of the purpose of his visit and they never advised him. Not like he sneaked into the UK to carry out the procedure


Nigeria should cut diplomatic ties with UK until this rubbish is reversed

Based on your myopic logic, everyone serving a jail sentence today in Nigeria or any place in world on Attempted Murder, should be set free, ‘after all no body was killed’.

You failed to realize that, had it been the organ harvest took place, he would have faced more serious charges and more severe sentence…also more people would have been charged lost their including Doctors and medical personnel’s in the UK hospital who stopped this.

Ike's first mission after his release from the UK prison would be to build a world class hospital in his hometown.

10years for prison sentence which is like being in school(9 months) will be 7.5 years spent for EK and 6 years will be 4.5 years at least, someone will come out earlier than the other to look after family.... Years later, they may still appeal if they conduct themselves well

I pity the doctor serving his sentence(8 years) plus losing his license, though not doing due diligence cost the 3 a lot. Not everything is business. Just their record that will show ex convict but they can easily reintegrate back into Nigeria's system.

Hoping the children for now will take charge of the home front.... Nigerian politicians I hope are learning so they do better for their society.

what a pity,

All for the love of a child, may God give them the strength to serve the time in good health.

That serves them right. Next time they should know how to build and equip hospitals in the country. I have come to like UK for jailing those people squandering our collective resources.

yarimo:
That is very commendable from the UK court, Peter Grigori obi will be next. UK immigrations please be at alert

You better run for your life🏃 before they bounce on you. Because, whenever a person talk negatively about Obi, it's like you are putting pepper into their yansh.🤣🤣🤣

It is quite embarrassing that a trio of Nigerians are the first to be sentenced under the UK’s Modern Slavery Act 2015.



Honestly, with the way our image is being tarnished internationally, it would get to a point where no one would want to have anything to do with a Nigerian.



Only today, I applied for a content writing job with a small Indian firm, and immediately they saw I was Nigerian, they began to be more particular about my identity than my skills.

Any Nigerian that feel sorry for this ekweremadus is a fool,when he was looting with reckless abandon,and the daughter was partying and drinking excessively with looted funds.dem no know day of reckoning go come.

This is not justice but witch hunting.

How can you sentence a man that wrote to your embassy about his intention to take someone to UK for the purpose of organ donation.
The donor is not a minor.
What nonsense law do they practice in the uk

Idiot shut up there, ignorance is ruinning your life, he wrote a letter to there embassy about his intention,
Was that intention made known to the poor boy? Yes or no?
Answer me before you end up like them fool

Antipob777:
I urge Ike Ekwerenmadu to Appeal his conviction.

This is not in any way justice. We have documents proof that the senator write the UK Embassy officially notifying them about the kidney transparent.

This is mere witch hunting and I condemn it, I condemn it. I condemn it and I call on all Nigerians to rise up to their voices to demand for a fair justice.

The FG must as a matter of urgency sanction the British govt.

The British embassy should be shutdown immediately.
.all British companies or businesses in Nigeria should be shutdown immediately.

This is unacceptable and we condemn it, we condemn it, we condemn it.

You still don’t get it..

The boy changed everything the moment he walked into police station that they wanna harvest his organ! A small boy walking to a UK police station, then mentioning organ harvesting. There’s no way police would not take it up! UK embassy, UK prime minister can’t even stop anything at this point!

What I feel is something probably got the boy mad and he decided to changed it for them! I still don’t feel the boy is a victim. I think he only played a fast one on them! Maybe they’re trying to rip him or something! It’s hard to know what plays out for real!

Why would I want to hack someones' account

ozoono:
Pls dont do this it is a scam, he wana hack ur account. Pls i was once an expert in dis, until God arrested me

When you hear the saying anything can happen,yeah just brace up oooo. As long as we still live we are not absolutely free from challenges of life. Few years ago this people will never imagine they'll be sentenced to jail. May we not be unfortunate

Thank God our own peter obi escaped and outsmarted the British immigration and ran back home

I feel for them, but the law is the law...the law must take it cost.....

Same thing with me, every online registration I do always fails once I indicate Nigeria as my country .
This has made me not to even think of travelling out again

Nice...let him cool off in UK prison

Wow !! That boy really run them street. He best not return here.

Shame on ECOWAS and the reps who wanted clemency for ekweremadu.

# justice well served!
Nig politicians are evil

Na so life be!
Will the victim returned back to Nigeria or stay back in UK?

This is justice served. What is bad is discussing your intention with the donor. The poor boy deserves to know that his kidney is to be harvested. This is arrongancy of big men. Also the doctor who was given money to give to the boy pocketed most of it leaving the poor boy to suffer in the UK. He would have died in the cold if not for UK Police

Akinsete19:
He will be back when the next president has finished his two terms. By then, he might contest for the presidential seat since criminality is justified in Nigeria.

it will be the turn of the North

Good one!!
The sentences should come with a very hard labour too..

lolzz if you re destined to be a prisoner, if you re king in ur village, u go still use ur money enter motor to another village to go and serve ur jail term. life no balance

Thank God, the case happened outside the country, if say, it was in Nigeria, these people with victim mentality will not allow us to hear words.

You can appeal the judgement. I doubt if you understand the choice of your word "witch hunting". Before they were sentenced they were found guilty. Quite unfortunate this is happening especially the daughter still in dire need of donor however judgement do not appeal to emotions

I have noticed that many of you don't understand the case the UK have against the Ekweremadus.




Let me educate you.




It is criminal to buy and/or sell organs.





By offering the boy money, the law took it for granted that Ekweremadu wanted to buy the boy's organ.



Organs are given freely, not bought. People who donate organs do so to help someone in need. When money becomes involved, then, you have an illegal organ harvesting market.

This is absurd and abuse of immigration process. I pray for that boy, anyday he commits anything in UK , they will show him pepper. Ekweremadu deserve my little pity . Its a lesson for our politicians. I pity the daughter. I wonder how the girl will survive this without parental support. Honestly it's sad day.

Law is a no respecter of nobody but unfortunately Nigeria is worse.

Your 100% right. One way or other the boy will pay for all this.
